Default NFilter & WinXP?

I went to the Nfilter link to install it and I find no reference to it
working with WinXP.
Does anyone have it running OK on XP?

Default NFilter & WinXP?

Sorry, don't use XP ... but I do have a couple of other questions about
nFilter before I try it:

1. Will nFilter work if you have to use a password for a commercial news
service?

2. If so, how do you configure it to logon with a password?

I don't see either question answered in the FAQ.

Thanks.

Yes.

Configure Lookout Exploit as you would normally, with the exception of using
"localhost" as your NNTP server name. Then configure nFilter with the name
of your NNTP server. OE will pass the authentication to nFilter, which will
in turn log you in to your news server.

....at least that's how I do it. YMMV

Excellent, and thanks!

Downloaded it last week ... fixing to install it and fire it up. Looks like
David E. needs to update the FAQ filters on a daily basis.

It works fine with a password. Just point NFIlter at your news
server, and change your news reader to use localhost as the server.
Leave the username/password the same as it is now. Nfilter just
passes it along to the real news server.
